It can be hard to make new friends and connect with new people. Here are five ways to make new friends every day:
1. Ask them to sit with you
Maybe at lunch or any other time in the day, ask someone to sit with you and bond with them. This is a perfect way to make new friends!
2. Find a bus buddy
Do you sit with someone on your bus you don’t know? (Probably not right now because of Covid, but you will have a chance again!) Talk to them! I have made great friends over the years like this. Try it!
3. Just go over and say, “Hi!”
Simple enough. Plus, it sometimes works. I mean, it’s always an option…
4. Find someone who likes what you like
Then go say something like, “Oh! Cool! I have a pet turtle too!”
This is a great way to make friends.
5. Ask A grownup to help you
Ask a trusted grown-up at home if they have any friends with kids around your age. Then ask them when you can meet them!
I hope this helps you make new friends! The most important thing to remember is this: Treat others the way you would want them to treat you! If you are kind and loving to others, people will want to be your friend!
